FAQ
About Workshops
How do I register for a workshop?
The registration process is two steps. First you pay for the workshop at your corresponding tier and then you register for the zoom meeting. When paying, please make sure to check friends/family on PayPal and add the name of the workshop in the note section. If you are using a different email address for PayPal/Zoom, please inform us so we know who to match payment to.
When can I register for workshops?
Workshop registration opens in two phases:
Paid subscribers can register first, with exclusive access for one week
After the priority window, registration opens to everyone, including free subscribers
As a paid subscriber, you'll always get early access to secure your spot in our most popular sessions. Not a member yet? Join today to enjoy priority registration and never miss out on the workshops you want to attend.
How many students will be in my class?
Every class needs at least 6 students to run. If we do not reach 6 seats, the workshop might be canceled or postponed (after discussing with the instructor) and full refunds will be made available. We encourage everyone to register as soon as possible.
In most cases, our workshops are capped at 15 students. If it is a more lecture based, the class size can be much larger than that, but we will always make that clear.
Are all workshops recorded?
Most workshops are recorded and available to students for one month after the completion of the course/workshop. After three months, it joins our library and is available to paid members.
If you can’t make a class, but would like access to the recording, you can still pay upfront and send an email to hello@literaryliberation.net letting us know you won’t be in live attendance (and not occupying a seat that could otherwise be filled). You’ll receive the recordings the following day typically.
Do you offer payment plans or sliding scale?
Literary Liberation offers select payment plans and where announced, sliding scale options. You can email directly for payment plans or keep reading for our sliding scale offer.
Our Sliding Scale Commitment
We believe in making our workshops accessible while sustaining our work and community. Where indicated, our pricing operates on a three-tier sliding scale system:
Supported Price
This reduced rate is offered for those who are experiencing financial constraints but wish to participate. We reserve a limited number of spots at this tier to support those who would otherwise be unable to join. If this tier speaks to your current circumstances, we welcome you to choose it.
Standard Price
This represents the actual cost of the workshop, including fair compensation for our facilitators and operational costs. If you can comfortably afford daily expenses and have steady income, this is likely your tier.
Pay-it-Forward Price
By choosing this rate, you're directly supporting others' access to this workshop. If you're financially secure, have disposable income, or benefit from generational wealth, consider this tier as a way to invest in our community's growth and accessibility.
Important Notes:
These tiers are based on honesty and will never require us to inquire about your financial situation. We do hope as financial situations improve, that individuals pay it forward for someone in similar circumstances.
All participants receive the same workshop experience regardless of tier choice
Supported price spots are limited and offered on a first-come basis
We trust you to select the tier that honestly reflects your current situation
No questions asked about your choice – you know your circumstances best.
What is your refund policy?
We're so excited you've signed up for one of our workshops! We know life can be unpredictable, so here's what you need to know about our refund policy.
Unless a class is unable to run due to low enrollment or an instructor emergency, we are generally unable to offer full refunds. However, we understand plans can change, so if you need to voluntarily withdraw, we're happy to provide a partial refund. To qualify for a partial refund, please let us know at least 7 days before the first session. In this case, we'll refund 75% of your registration fee - the remaining 25% helps cover our costs for planning and preparation.
If you received financial assistance to attend, your refund will be calculated based on the discounted rate you paid, not the full market value. So you'll get back 75% of your actual out-of-pocket costs.
We're here to support you, so if you have any other questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out. We want to make sure this is a worry-free learning experience from start to finish.
